What car is that?
Looks like an SUV … and when did we do something interesting?
yesterday i saw the number 1600
My friends car got the new plates .. 1090 something.. they look terrible, similar to the Japanese plates.
they look like they were trying to copy the UAE plates and FAILED
having the numbers in english only is discrimination, what if the bedoin buleeceman can’t read english?
holla : wtf, the old one is english 2:S wats new bout it:S
Do they have number auctions in Kuwait? I wonder how much that plate would fetch..
Otherwise, I agree with the boring verdict. For once, Abu Dhabi does got something right! :P
yuck
Nothing but ugly !
Well, it does what it’s suppose to do. Numbers and Kuwaiat are clearly printed and internationally usable. It’s amazing how people make a fuss out of nothing!
who the fuck came up with this shit…why cant we get ONE thing right in this country
guys any one have Abu Dhabi plate pic?
zoomzoom i got a pic of Ajman plate..
these look so ugly, i prefer the ones we hav now..
number 1 on the top represents the area right ?
I hope the small numbers don’t stand for districts. If so, soon enough people will learn which districts they represent and we’ll get back to picking on the stupid Jahrawi man with the Ferrari Inzo that has Jahra license plates.
I WAS TOLD THE REASON THEY HAVE THE UPPER # IS TO REMOVE DISTRICTS IN THE MIROOR. SO BONY YOU WONT FIND OUT WHOS FROM WHERE
do we know what the “1″ means? Like now, we know not to piss off a driver from Jahra… so how do the corresponding numbers work? And I don’t like the “0″. The plate has no style, so why bother cutting a chunk out of “0″.
Ok we are quickly going to figure out what that 1 or any other number up there means!
The plates are HORRIBLE! I wouldn’t want that for my car! Screw it!
This is the start of the auction. Numbers will be on the block soon.
boring and ugly
the new plate looks too plain.
wonder when we’re gonna get vanity plates
check this site:

Yes to ugly license plates… No to discrimination of governorate-based license plates
p.s. they probably look this out-of-date because the committee to decide on the design for the new plates was probably in session back in 1965
I think the 1 is just the first group of 9999
The plate only fits 4 numbers so when the first 9999 get done the 1 becomes a 2 and then you go through 9999 again and then it becomes a 3 etc..
This looks like crap!! even the Blue Lebanese ones look better
I wonder who got 1-1111
similar to Dubai’s license plates
well youve seen them live……..I wonder how long itll be till you see them dead. Judging by the way people drive here id say this afternoon probably
we have to decode the single digits.. otherwise the 3geidies from jahra will be walking amongst us and no one will know lol
ٍAtleast it has nice number fonts. :/
I am going to make my own wide plates .. the cops won’t realize they are fake until the new-er ones come.
The ones before 1990 looked nicer than these pieces of shits. Only my opinion.
hahahaha K! now thats going to be funny!
Where are you gonna get it stamped and everything?
Looks dull
Off topic, but do any of you guys recognise people in this clip?
Kuwaiti Highway
The entire thing is part of the departments plan to rake in some extra dough, 5KD per plate for every new registration is quite a bit.
no no no you guys got it all wrong they changed the plates to make the numbers because our cops need to wear glasses lol the cops here are all cross eyed… we need to hurry before the cool numbers run out theyll start handing out #136457
Such a big fuss about number plates !
1- Mark is right thw “1″ is the start of every 9999 plates.
2- Numbers are issued by computers and based on first come first serve
3- There will be no auction or sale of any special numbers
4- The whole issue of the re-designe is so that the Speed cameras get a “clear ” picture without the benefit of a doubt when speeding
5-The numbers are all “Arabic Numerals” anyway & Kuwait in English is good internationally
6-In few months we will all forget how the number plates look but start worrying about the traffic fines we have to pay.
I baught a new car last week & missed out on getting a new plate
nice one but it shoud be in arabic
It IS in arabic, those are arabic numbers.
the arabic numbers we use in kuwait are ‘indian’. look it up.
They are Arabic numerals.
